Academic Survey Smartphone OS Loyalty & Switching Costs — MBA Thesis Survey (iOS/Android users in the UK & Europe, ~10–12 min) Hi r/Android I'm an MBA candidate at Maastricht School of Management (Netherlands) and I'm currently collecting data for my thesis on perceived switching costs between iOS and Android and how they influence user loyalty in the European smartphone market. If you've ever thought "I'd never switch from iPhone" or "Android just makes more sense for me" — this study is basically about why that feeling exists and how strong it really is. Who can participate: \- 18+ years old \- Currently using an iOS or Android smartphone \- Residing in Europe and in the UK Details: \- ⏱ \~10–12 minutes \- 🔒 Fully anonymous \- 🎓 Academic research only — no marketing, no data selling \- 🏛️Hosted on Qualtrics via Maastricht University 👉 Take the survey here: https://maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_cMuOKUJJxMi9w6a https://redd.it/1u19606 @reddit_android

Today I learned…DeX I am new to the Android phone OS..kinda. Never owned one, but knew how to teach people how to use their phone on a basic level. I now own a S26 Ultra solely for work, daily driver is iPhone 16 Pro.. I also use Linux on most of my computers so; the comparison of how DeX works currently is not far off from Raspberry Pi OS. Maybe leaning into Fedora/Ubuntu ways. I’m all for it. https://redd.it/1u1pnjb @reddit_android

A/B Users are more secure than Private Space # TL;DR From a forensic or security perspective, despite the additional authentication layer for Private Space, data is more vulnerable than a separate, second user. # Private Space Private Space uses a file-based encryption model where user-specific data transitions from BFU-restricted to AFU-accessible once the primary user unlock occurs. Here is the breakdown: BFU (Before First Unlock): Device just rebooted, no authentication yet. Only Device-Encrypted (DE) storage is accessible. Credential-Encrypted (CE) data remains locked. AFU (After First Unlock): User has authenticated once post-boot. Both DE and CE storage are accessible with derived keys. Private Space uses file-based encryption and stores its data in the CE partition. Once the device reaches AFU state: The encryption keys for Private Space are available in memory Private Space itself still requires separate authentication to access The underlying storage is decrypted and accessible to the system # Second User A second user profile remains in a BFU-like (Before First Unlock) state regarding its own data encryption keys until that specific user authenticates, even if another user (the primary owner) has already authenticated and put the device in AFU. Here is the breakdown: Per-Profile Key Derivation: Android File-Based Encryption (FBE) generates unique credential-encrypted (CE) keys for each user profile. When User A unlocks the device, only User A's CE keys are derived and loaded into memory. Isolation: User B's CE keys remain locked and inaccessible. The file system permissions prevent User A's session from reading User B's private data or deriving User B's keys without User B's specific authentication credential. Shared Storage Exception: The only data accessible to both users while User B is "locked" is the shared storage area (e.g., /sdcard if not strictly partitioned, though modern Android isolates this too). Private spaces and individual app data for User B remain encrypted and effectively in a BFU state relative to User A's session. Therefore, the device being in AFU because of User A does not transition User B to AFU. User B stays secure and encrypted until they personally unlock their profile. # Conclusion Choose a second user profile for robust security against physical seizure and Private Space for everyday convenience where absolute isolation is less critical than usability. # Sources Android Open Source Project (AOSP) – Official documentation on the architectural implementation of Private Space and its relation to user profiles: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/private-space GrapheneOS Forum – Community technical analysis comparing the encryption isolation of Private Space versus standard second-user profiles: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/16569-android-15-private-space-please-explain Privacy Guides Community – Discussion on the security implications of User Profiles vs. Work/Private Spaces for digital forensics resistance: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/android-private-space-vs-work-profile/21101 Next Star Systems – Comparative guide on file access and encryption boundaries between hidden folders, private spaces, and multi-user setups: https://nextstarsystems.com/blog/private-space-vs-hidden-folders-when-to-use-each-on-android https://redd.it/1tztk5z @reddit_android
